The phase model of market economy is suggested in the article. It is formalized in the cubical equation The equation takes into account the imperfections of competition and the fact that consumer goods are produced with the help of means of production. Transitions from the imperfect competition to the perfect one and visa versa yield qualitative status change of market economy.

Abstract Background: The Acute Life Interventions Goals & Needs Program (ALIGN) at the Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City aims to work closely with high risk geriatric patients for short term intensive management of acute medical and social issues. Quantitative measures for determining success of the program is comparing emergency room visits and hospitalizations prior to and after enrollment with ALIGN. The Community Paramedicine service allows a paramedic, the ALIGN provider, and an emergency room physician to assess and triage patients in their home via video conference thereby avoiding ED visits for non-urgent services. Method: We reviewed the utilization of the Community Paramedicine service (from July 2017-February 2020) and its impact on ALIGN’s efforts to reduce unnecessary ED visits and hospitalizations. Results: 36 patients were evaluated with the Community Paramedicine service (from July 2017-February 2020). 19 or 52.8% avoided an ED visit and 17 or 47.2% were transported to the ED. 12 or 70.6% were admitted to the hospital of those that were transported to the ED initially. Top reasons for transport to ED included generalized weakness, acute mental status change (AMS), and shortness of breath (SOB). Conclusions: A Community Paramedicine program utilized by a high risk geriatrics team like ALIGN is effective in reducing ED visits and hospitalizations for the elderly population who incur greater expenses to the health care system and traditionally have poorer health outcomes.

Cavity-nesting vertebrates, a significant component of forest wildlife communities, are connected ecologically in nest webs arranged in guilds of cavity producers (strong and weak excavators) and cavity consumers. The availability of tree cavities for nesting and roosting is considered critical to maintaining communities of cavity nesters. Using univariate tests and resource selection indices, we examined nesting use of both natural and excavated cavities in small aspen–conifer groves of interior British Columbia in relation to availability of cavity, tree, and habitat features. In a 2-year study, we monitored 197 cavities for use, 8% of which were lost between years. Of those that survived, 26% were occupied in both years, 29% were used in only one year, and 45% were not used in either year. Occupied cavities were larger internally than those not occupied in either year and were more likely to be in trees with only one cavity. In species-level resource selection analyses, tree swallows (Tachycineta bicolor Vieillot), European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris L.), and chickadees (Poecile spp.) used live, heart rot infected trees more than expected from their proportional abundance and used dead trees less than expected, while northern flickers (Colaptes auratus L.), mountain bluebirds (Sialia currucoides Bechstein), and red squirrels (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus Erxleben) used live and dead trees in proportion to their availability. Managed, open landscapes with small mixed or deciduous forest groves can sustain healthy communities of cavity nesters, if there is a range of suitable trees for excavators and open areas for foraging.
